The Indian state of Karnataka is a treasure trove of Islamic architecture. Stories of victory and defeat, fear and courage of rulers of Islamic India are weaved with perfection across every hook and nook of the state. Bijapur in Karnataka is such a well- preserved land of Islamic architecture, where the Gol Gumbaz proudly calls it the father of all.

A symbol of valour, a symbol of pride, the 'Malik-e-Maidan' stands within the precincts of the Bijapur Fort, now silent but once-roaring with robustness and power, to appease millions of admirers with its glorious past. Set-up by Mohammad Adil Shah, it is believed to have been the largest weapon built during medieval times. Inscriptions on the cannon reveal that it was built by a Turkish officer, Muhammad-bin-Hassan Rumi, serving the king of Ahmednagar and was later captured and brought to Bijapur by General Murari Pandit.
